在《患者保护和平价医疗法案》（又称“奥巴马医改”，或者更笼统地说，医疗改革）出台之前，国会已经通过了自近45年前医疗保险制度创立以来最全面的医疗改革措施。作为美国复苏和再投资法案（ARRA）的一部分，国会通过了经济和临床健康健康信息技术法案（HITECH）。HITECH通过关注健康信息技术的实施和使用，改变了卫生保健专业人员、组织、患者和付款人之间关系的性质。它特别强调隐私和安全，包括扩大应用和执行。HITECH还为卫生信息交流和教育提供奖励和补贴，这不在本文的范围内。
Before the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as “Obamacare,” or, more generally, health reform, Congress had already passed the most sweeping health care reform measures since Medicare was created nearly 45 years ago. As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), Congress passed the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH). HITECH changed the nature of the relationships among health care professionals, organizations, patients, and payors by focusing on the implementation and use of health information technology. It puts particular emphasis on privacy and security, including expanded application and enforcement. HITECH also provides incentives and subsidies for health information exchanges and education, which are outside the scope of this article.
